It's so cool to be buying property for the first time literally right now. I had to fend off seven other bids for my place and the price went quite a bit over asking.

douglas adams was our most accurate futurist
We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

Today, we honor Native Alaskan civil rights activist, Elizabeth Peratrovich, who was monumental in passing our country’s first Anti-Discrimination Act in 1945.
Continuing her fight to protect the right to vote is just one way we can keep her legacy alive. Mural by Crystal Worl.

Taught my prob theory students "how rednecks count" (1, 2, Dale, 4, 5, 6, 7, Junior, 9, 10...) and now some of my students are using "Dale" as a stand-in on assignments for 3 and I have only myself to blame.

Oh cripes! Yes. Yes, I have found a place and it’s great!!! Now I have to spend more money than I’ve ever spent at once in my LIFE before I can even go inside it with keys 🫣
Does that mean you found a place??

Okay, I think I'm going to have to spend at least a day going through all my books, and I mean ALL of them, including the ones in storage downstairs, and see what I really want to keep. I think it's doable, but it will be: a task, if any Chicago friends want to keep me company/on track about it.

Guess what I got given for Valentine's Day!! Thank you for that huge and horrific pink poop, Gingko! I love you!!!! 💞
I just had to buy a sleeve of Wonder Bread so Gingko can "bulk her diet" and poop out the fancy pink silly putty for building hand strength she ate last night, if you want to know how my Friday the 13th is going so far. (She loved it!!!)
